I keep reading as habitat and pinon/juniper encroachment is a big factor in mule deer decline. Also how groups like MDF, SFW are spending thousands on heavy equipment to mitigate the problem.
I have been thinking why can't hunters help with this problem. We spend a few hours cutting firewood every year, we could just as well whack a few junipers while we are at it. As a bonus we'd have firewood for next year. The State could require us to take an quick online course so we wouldn't cut the wrong trees and they could furnish maps with your hunting license so you could concentrate where it would do the most good.
Just a thought.
